Nachricht von Tanya Deans

Stoos is a small mountain resort near Lucerne, known for the steepest funicular train in world and spectacular views over Lake Lucerne.

The main viewpoint, Fronalpstock, is easy to reach by riding the funicular to the alpine village, then a series of chair lifts up the mountain. 

At the top, you can safely enjoy the views from a fenced platform at the edge of the cliffs. Near the viewpoint, there's a restaurant and a picnic area with a playground, a great option for families with small children.

Open: The mountain lifts to the Fronalpstock viewpoint are usually open through early November. They may close due to wind, snow or other poor weather conditions.

Although Stoos is no secret, it's much less crowded that other popular tourist destinations in Switzerland. When we are hosting visitors, it's one of our first choices for a day trip from Zurich, easy by train and car.

How to get there

The Stoos funicular train is located at Grundstrasse 232, 6430 Schwyz.

There is lots of metered parking next to the funicular station. By bus, get off at the Schwyz, Stoosbahn stop.

Tickets

To visit the Fronalpstock viewpoint, you'll need the "Peak Experience" ticket, which includes a round trip ticket from the valley (includes funicular and chair lifts).

Discount with Swiss Travel Pass, Swiss Half Fare Card, and GA. Free with Lucerne Tell Pass.

The ticket is slightly cheaper if you buy it online, plus you can skip the line. Tickets do not sell out and you do not need a reservation.

Hiking options

If you feel like walking, you can do the short and easy panorama trail along the cliffs. You can do the loop or just walk back and forth along the cliffs.

Trail: easy • 1.5 km loop • 1 hour • 30m up, 40m down
See trail map. Details on SwissFamilyFun.com

With kids, you might like the new "Fronalp Trail," which has activities along the way as you hike back down to Stoos.

For a longer hike, try the popular ridge trail, which ends at Fronalpstock.
